Welcome again to WordPress. This is not the first post. I was just restoring the site after it was down for a while – we were switching ISP’s and somehow getting this one up and running again quickly sort of fell off the radar. Anyway, we’re back!

I got this error for the first time this evening when trying to log in on my wife’s Mac and play StarCraft 2. A couple searches indicate it may be a temporary problem say at the time of a patch or something like that. I think it’s a bit of a coincidence that I recently uninstalled SC2 on my PC laptop and now come to log in and play it on this Mac a few days later. Hopefully it’s not a specific problem with my account. Suppose I’ll find out in a few minutes or tomorrow morning.

This is a fun game I recommend. It’s interesting how the fate of the game seems to be decided pretty early, if you can get an edge in resources, the winner is almost a foregone conclusion. I’m no expert, but if you have any tips or advice on how to win this game, please post below.

I’ve played the Tower Defense game Zillion Zerglings for a couple weeks now and there have been some significant changes in play.

In particular, you can finish the Red level and get promoted to the Orange level, which at first was darn near impossible, but I think that has been toned down now a little bit. It is now possible to last beyond the first Orange level.

One piece of advice for you Terrans that decide to go Nukes — cancel your Nukes at the end of the wave! Otherwise it will come down and kill your stuff! At the end of the wave, your stuff gets regenerated, but if you nuke comes down right after your stuff was regenerated, it will hurt and potentially fatally destroy you! Such as when you lose both your command center and your SCV!

Post any more advice or comments about the Zillion Zerglings Tower Defense Custom Game below and have fun, see you in the game!

This might help you if you want to be checking your e-mail or monitoring stocks while playing StarCraft. Also, if you have some debugger or sniffing programs you could “hack” StarCraft or learn some internal stuff while the program is running.

I’ll let you know how it goes and please let me know as well by posting below!

These Challenge missions are fun! I just discovered them yesterday I think, I’m not a huge SC nerd, maybe less than a newbie by Hardcore people’s standards. I play a lot of 3v3 for fun and of course got through the missions long ago, but somehow missed the Challenge stuff. I am doing them now.
